A History of the Crusades Last of eight programmes presented by Malcolm Billings The Last Crusade
With the loss of Acre in 1291, crusading moved offshore. Its main base was Cyprus, although Rhodes (and, later,
Malta) was home to the Knights Hospitaller of St John, warrior-monks whose spirit lives on in organisations such as the St John's Ambulance Brigade. Series consultant
